Abstract “Foam Rolling” has been used in sports settings to increase range of motion and
decrease muscle stiffness without decreasing muscle strength and athletic performance …

In sports and clinical settings, roller massage (RM) interventions are used to acutely
increase range of motion (ROM); however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Apart …

Purpose The chronic effects of unilateral foam rolling (FR) or FR with vibration (VFR)
intervention on the rolling and non-rolling sides (cross-education effects) are still unclear …

Comparison between foam rolling with and without vibration on passive and active plantar …

A single use of a vibration foam roller likely increases the range of motion (ROM) without
decreasing muscle strength and athletic performance. However, to date, no study compared …

Self-massage using foam rollers, sticks, or balls has become a popular technique to
enhance joint range of motion (ROM). Although increases are reported to be larger in …

Introduction Maintaining flexibility, often defined as range of motion (ROM), is important.
Recently, self-massage using a foam roller (FR) has been used in clinical and/or sports …

Background: Local high-frequency percussive (HFP) massage has recently found
widespread application in physical therapy. Although HFP massage reportedly improves …

Introduction Self-massage using a foam roller (foam rolling) has been used to improve joint
